Problem with PhotoPost and Netscape

Can anyone take a look at my PhotPost pages and tell me why the header does not display correctly in Netscape? I use the same header for my entire site, but for some reason it is only affected with PhotoPost. This is with Netscape 7.

The XHTML 1.0 Transitional is actually addeed by the gallery script. I've been wondering about it. Could it affect the display of the template?

Yes it can. Basically, many browsers have two rendering modes: "Standards" mode and "Quirks" mode. Since the XHTML 1.0 Transitional DOCTYPE was added in as the first line of your code, it throws browsers into "Standards" mode and renders according to W3C specs. Without a full DOCTYPE, browsers like IE and Opera will go into "Quirks" mode and render differently. This article should provide you with more info.

Great. I removed the XHTML 1.0 Transitional DOCTYPE line and it looks fine in NS7 now. I'll have to read that article when I have a little time. Can you see any problems that may be caused by removing that line?

I really appreciate the help. Thanks.

The version of HTML used won't be clear from being able to look at a DOCTYPE, but since you weren't valid anyway it will probably spare you a few headaches for now.
